Some Questing Information.
Okay since Pecker doesn't know many commands i'll just dish a few out relevant to questing, I've done some in the past. (The days of Psy2k and JI & PoG RPG.)
Basically, create a *.cs file in your config folder and fill it with say commands.
Use the #block, #endblock command to create a system of triggers. i.e. #block beginquest. If you #spawn or #spawnpack at the end of the command add a > and another command then it'll trip another command after that bot/pack is destroyed/picked up. Use #call [name of block] to execute the block you've created.
Next setting coordinates. Coordinates are strictly on a radian basis. So rotation is approxmately 6.28 for a full 360 degree rotation. (pi being 3.14) Use that to rotate dis, #spawndis house1 name -2091.32 -665.165 237.358 0 0 3.14 would spawn a house object near Keldrin Town rotated 180 around its axis on the z-plane.... the numbers are as follows: x-pos, y-pos, z-pos, x-rotation, y-rotation, z-rotation. It rotates around the axis so be careful. (Just think back to those good old days in Geometry and Trig) Oh yeah, use the "pack" button to get coordinates of a location. If you want a list of all the dis files, you can extract them with WinVol I think. There's quite a few.
Spawning bots. #spawn [type] [name] [loadout] [team number] simply that.
Loadouts are important to figure out what a bot has. I.E.
#loadout Jeweler CLASS Fighter EXP 99000/50 HammerPick 1 PickAxe1 Keldrinite 1/-500 Diamond 1/-5 COINS 1000/50
The first number is the max the bot can have, and the second is the probability that the item will show up with the bot. A negative number gives it a really low percentage. For example the UberSloths have a negative number for DragonScales.
EXP is the level. 99000 is level 100.
There's a lot more to questing than meets the eye, good luck you two. I have a ton of quests that I've made, but I ran through them and most of them don't work since they coincide with the old Keldrin Town with just the houses... haha a lot of my packs and bots spawned inside house you couldn't even go into. I'm too lazy to rewrite them for the current map so you're on your own. Well here's an example quest. I remember it took me forever to make, I think this was one of my more complex quest, it sets off multiple triggers from Ethern to Keldrin Town and then to Jaten Outpost.

This quest no longer works on the current map, but I though I'd give you an example. I have a treasure hunt quest that theoretically should still work, I just need to find new coordinates for my NPC that triggers the quest.
I'm going to work on a sniper quest where you beam Civillians in town after you mimic a Goblin and you get rewards for killing the right one. The packs will probably spawn on the hill where I always see people sniping DoDoDo,
I'll give it to an Admin after I finish.
Have fun Pecker and Draak
